Wolfie20 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Obvious that Villa have accepted that they are going to be relegated, otherwise how do you explain how a club that's 10 points from safety doesn't use the one chance they have between now and the end of the season to give themselves a lifeline and just as importantly, give some hope, no matter how little, to their suffering fans!

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I think villa also had players turn them down because they're going down and they're not up for it so no one who'd improve them would join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 You haven't understood G Star. All our main competitors do everything better than us. Better signings, more effective, more bottle, better managed, better players, better coached, better owners etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he's referring to the insurance payouts for their injuries. Which, insurance companies being the generous sort, is sure to be to the tune of millions - covering both transfer fees and wages for 3 to 4 years - for an injury type that rules a player out for roughly 1 season of football and each club generally averages one every other season. Apparently not many teams take out this insurance, so obviously these multi-million pound payouts are made out of the goodness of the heart of these insurance company's shareholders...

But as I said, insurance companies are well known for their generosity so I'm sure they'll happily cover multi-million pound transfer fees and multi-million pound wage packets over 3 or 4 years for a not uncommon injury that generally keeps players out for 1 season of football. It's a solid business plan. I mean.... Rod Fanni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
